I have my eyes on this Pierre Hermé recipe since last year but unfortunately the season for white Alba truffle had ended. So i waited patiently by the campfire. The seasons went from rain to thunder and back until finally one sunny morning – the diamond of the kitchen reappeared. Ok, i wasn't literally waiting by the campfire but damn, it felt like it.
To be perfectly honest, you have to be a little bit nutty to even consider making these macarons. I know the main purpose of a food blog is to publish recipes people can make, but this one is just too over the top. The equivalent of bungee jumping for the cook. Fresh white truffles cost a bundle but was it worth using the precious in a macaron?
Let me tell you, it was worth every dime, every penny and more, so before we continue i would like to personally thank the pig who found the truffle. You have my word buddy, that i won't turn you into a pork bun.
White truffles have the elegance of a clump of mud but the perfume of a Goddess. Like diamonds in the rough, the brilliance of their surface has been tarnished by the earth and yet, they shine through with their strong and inebriating aroma. Nature has a way of making certain that the truffle is a gift of surprise.
The window of opportunity to trap that evasive aroma is very short though. That's where Pierre Hermé's evil-genius white chocolate ganache comes into play to capture it perfectly. At first, i hesitated adding 20 grams of pricey fresh truffle into the white chocolate ganache but fear not my friends. You can trust PH. And like if that wasn't enough, Pierre Hermé reveals his genius once again by bringing an unexpected guest -hazelnuts from the Piedmont region of Italy. The hazelnuts are toasted, roughly chopped and simply placed on top of the ganache to provide crunch. The God-sent crunch that turns this macaron into sheer perfection.
Now it's funny to think that white Alba truffles are sometimes found under hazelnut trees.
Sift the almond flour and the powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Add the first batch of egg whites (55 gr) without mixing them.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar and bring to a boil until it reaches 118'C. Meanwhile, place the second batch of egg whites in the bowl of a mixer equipped with the whisk attachment. When the sugar is at 115'C start beating the whites on medium speed.
Pour the sugar at 118'C over the egg whites. Beat until the temperature of the mixture drops to 50'C. Fold the meringue into the almond-sugar-egg white mixture until it's homogeneous. Place in a large pastry bag with a plain #11 tip.
Place parchment paper on two baking trays and use a pencil to draw 1 1/2 inches circles to cover the surface with 1/2 inch in between. You should have 36 circles on each parchment papers. Turn over the paper so the pencil marks won't transfer to the meringues.
Pipe rounds of the meringue dough onto the prepared parchment paper. Let the meringues out at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This is a very important step, the piped meringue rounds develop a thin 'crust' over their surface.
Preheat the oven to 350'F. Bake the meringues for exactly 12 minutes. Open the oven door quickly-twice during cooking. When the cookies are cooked slide the parchment paper onto a work surface and leave them to cool.
Chop the white chocolate and melt in a bowl on a bain-marie. Bring the cream to a boil. Pour the cream on the melted white chocolate in three addition. Remove from the heat. While it cools, chop finely the white truffle and add to the mixture.
Scrap the mixture in a pyrex dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let it cool in the refrigerator.
Toast the hazelnuts in a 350'F oven for about 15 minutes. While they hot, roll them in a strainer to remove the skins (i used a clean kitchen towel). Transfer to a plastic bag and hit it with a rolling pin to make smaller chunks.
Place the white truffle ganache in a pastry bag equipped with a plain tip #11. Garnish half the meringues with the ganache, insert a few pieces of toasted hazelnut and cover with the other half to make a "sandwich". Refrigerate in an hermetic box for 24 hours. Let them come to room temperature before enjoying them.
thank you SO much for sharing this recipe, they're sublime – beyond any other cookie. totally worth the truffle. please thank the pig for me as well!
http://www.familyfriendlyfood.com/ Nurit – 1 family. friendly. food.
Yes, I will definitely won't make this recipe (because i will probably mess up. I never made macarons before/yet?) but would sure love to put my hand on a fresh truffle, and eat one of *your* macarons!
Sounds like you put it to good use.
Your macarons look better than Pierre's!
I did not see the truffle variety available when we visited his Paris shop.
at $4500 a pound at my black market source in LA and the fact that the macaron has managed to best me 5 times now, I'm thinking this is one of the posts that I just enjoy gazing at. beautiful!
This has to be what they serve you when you've passed the pearly gates?
I just tried making macarons for the 1st time and it was an utter failure on so many levels! I need a tutor. Made three batches and none turned out. Grrr. Yours look great though!
i'm just going to believe these are awesome. ain't no way i'd ever feel comfortable blowing a white truffle on anything sweet (since 9 out of 10 times i'd eat something savory over sweet). but this looks gorgeous.
one day i'll be able to afford a white truffle. feel sad for me yet?
Sweet lord those look beautiful.
Definitly wont be able to try this one but it looks incredible.
We add our thanks to the pig!
I want to cry my Zen friend. There's been a while I don't sink my big teeth into some white truffle goodness! I'm so sold to these macarrons! That's what happens when you get yourself together with Pierre!
Whenever I see a truffle I think to myself, "Who was the first person to see that ugly thing and think, 'I'll bet that would taste good. I think I'll eat it." I think that this is the most creative use of truffles I've seen in quite some time. White chocolate ganache – whoulda thunk?
This is beautiful and very challenging! Great job and very impressive.
Honestly? I will probably never make these…but wow. I love to see these amazing creations you make!
You make it sound heavenly! I had a look through PH's macaron book and was fascinated by the combinations and I want to try them all! Gorgeous!
Well, should I ever get my hands on a fresh White Truffle, this may be on the menu. I just tried my first truffles ever. They were Black Summer Truffles, in a tiny jar, preserved in salt, and, truthfully, can't say they were anything to write home about. Maybe we have an emperor here with no clothes on?? Or, do I just need to try Alba Whites, fresh?
Zen, these looks definitely worth the money!!
I didn't actually get what you do with the almonds flour and the egg-white; you are supposed to stir them together, right??
As second, when you open the oven door you actually are lowering its temperature so it doesn't matter if you slam it back, right?
Third, why do you warm choco and cream separately? The classical method (hot cream over choco), wouldn't it work?
Thanks for sharing, these macarons are the most sensual I've seen so far!
I've never ever seen a whole white truffe in person; nor have I smelled one. I can only imagine. Putting them in macarons is so innovative and daring!
Man, you are indeed insane. And now, gestating white diamonds in your tummy! Welcome back from Japan by the way!
That is one expensive macaroon. never had truffles in sweets before, i bet it taste amazing. it was nice meet you and marc in kyoto. can't wait to see your post after you have recovered from jet lag.
Oh my goodness! These sound SUBLIME.
Thanks for the tip on finding them under Hazelnut trees. I have an orchard right across the street. Sounds like a Dawn Raid on the first day of January is in the works! Pierre does it again!
Amazing taste, so unusual thanks to the white truffle. I love it!

Say you have created the best party playlist ever, and you want to sell it.
Just export your Playlist and then sell the export file and the person that buys it will import that file into their Spotify account!
But it is possible to do, and easy.
The easy way is to pay for a service called Soundiiz https://soundiiz.com/features .
A different way would involve using Zapier to create a Zap (an automation) that copies each track to a Google Sheet when a playlist is changed. (Doesn't help with existing playlist tracks, ergo you'd have to use this from the very beginning.
Again the easy way is to use Soundiiz.com They even let you import/export between multiple services Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Play, Pandora, the list is too long to add here.
A more difficult way (if you do not want to pay for Soundiiz) is reported here. It involves using a Spotify when its an program running on your Mac or PC (sorry tablet/smart phone users).
Warning – This is not the same thing as selling a 'placement' in a Spotify playlist. Spotify forbids people from being paid to add a music track to a popular playlist. They do not want record industry execs or someone trying to recreate the type of payola that is used on the radio.
The process above is about sharing a great list and charging for the curation work performed. It has nothing to do with product placement.


The energy of a photon that is absorbed or emitted by any atom can be calculated using the Transverse Energy Equation, along with 1) the electron's distance and 2) constructive/destructive wave interference (amplitude factor) on an electron transitioning orbitals in an atom. These two variables are found in the tables on the following pages: orbital distance calculations and amplitude factor calculations.
More than 200 calculations are compared to measured results of photon energies required for ionization. An explanation is provided in the Atomic Orbitals paper for the variation of calculations versus measured results. Ionization energies were calculated in Mj per mole.
The charts for the 2s and 2p electron ionization energies are summarized quickly below, but the details can be found in the Atomic Orbitals paper.
An example is the photon energy required to ionize an electron in the 2p subshell of boron. In this case, both distance and amplitude must be known.
Step 1) The 2p orbital distance (r0) comes from the distance table. It is 1.41. Note that radius (1.41) is converted to meters by multiplying by the Bohr radius (found in wave constant terms) – more details on this in the Atomic Orbitals paper.
After converting from joules to megajoules per mole using Avogadro's number (NA) and dividing by 106, the calculated result is -0.80 Mj/mol.
Comments: This matches the measured result for Boron which is -.80 Mj/mol.

Q: R - For a dataframe of locations, find the nearest member from another dataframe of locations I need to take the locations (Lat/Lon) in DF1 (3000 locations) and find the Haversine distance to the nearest location in DF2 (1500 locations) using R.
I can get this to work by hardcoding locations from DF2 or creating a column for each item in DF2 which is very cumbersome.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this efficiently?
Data structures
DF1
Lat   Lon

DF2
Lat   Lon

A: Try this:
# load packages
install.packages("tidyverse")
library(geosphere)
install.packages("rjson")
library(rjson)

# make a function to retrieve test data

get_latlon <- function(x){
  url <- paste0("https://api3.geo.admin.ch/rest/services/api/SearchServer?searchText=",paste(x),"&type=locations")
  result <- rjson::fromJSON(file = URLencode(url))

  as_tibble(result$results[[1]]) %>%
    mutate(attr_names = names(attrs)) %>%
    spread(attr_names, attrs) %>%
    unnest(cols = c(detail, featureId, geom_quadindex, geom_st_box2d, label, lat,
                    lon, num, origin, rank, x, y, zoomlevel)) %>%
    select(detail,lat,lon)
  }

# retrieve test data

cities1 <- c("spiez","zumikon","winterthur","neuenburg")
cities2 <- c("zurich","bern","lausanne")

cities1 %>% map(get_latlon) %>% bind_rows() -> DF1
cities2 %>% map(get_latlon) %>% bind_rows() -> DF2

# make a combined dataframe
names(DF1) <- paste0(names(DF1), ".a")
names(DF2) <- paste0(names(DF2), ".b")
crossing(DF1,DF2) -> data

# function to calculate the Harversine distance

haversine <- function(lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2, r = 6378137) {

  if(!is.numeric(c(lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2)))
    stop("Inpust must be numeric")

  # Convert degrees to radians
  lon1 <- lon1 * pi / 180
  lat1 <- lat1 * pi / 180
  lon2 <- lon2 * pi / 180
  lat2 <- lat2 * pi / 180

  delta.lon <- (lon2 - lon1)
  delta.lat <- (lat2 - lat1)
  a <- sin(delta.lat/2)^2 + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) *
    sin(delta.lon/2)^2
  c <- 2 * asin(min(1,sqrt(a)))
  distance <- r * c

  return(distance) # Distance
}

# find the smallest distances for locations in DF1
data %>%
  group_by(detail.a,detail.b) %>%
  mutate(haversine=haversine(lat.a,lon.a,lat.b,lon.b)) %>%
  group_by(detail.a) %>%
  slice(which.min(haversine))

There was great espresso when I lived in Firenze for a number of years. but there was no airport and no high-speed rail. It felt more like a large Italian village than it does today.
Did you know that by 2008 Firenze will have a new high-speed train station?
The Florence RFI Station will provide an important link on Italy's high-speed network currently being built between Turin and Venice in the north and Naples in the south. The station, to be predominantly underground, will be situated a short distance from the existing station just outside Florence's historic city centre.
"…the scheme is both a celebration of the experience of entry into Florence and an attempt to reduce the complexities of modern travel.
The composition is capped by an arching glazed roof, which evokes the great railway structures of the nineteenth century. Arriving in the station, the generous volume, with natural light flooding in from above, gives an immediate sense of space and light; one can see the sky and sense the air of the city.

24 Weeks Later: Zombies Live
Our last post looked at the two populations of Walking Dead and Vampire Diaries watchers as separate populations. The next challenge was to uniformly compare two audience groups and their social media activity on Twitter. Argus obtained buzz data for The Vampire Diaries and The Walking Dead by seeking Tweets with the words 'vampire diaries' or 'walking dead' in their body. Hence, there is a sample bias and it explains why Argus had more data for The Vampire Diaries than for The Walking Dead; while Tweets with the word 'vampire' were evaluated, Tweets with the word 'zombie' were not. Due to this disparity, it was necessary for Argus to equally compare the two groups to accurately assess buzz and viewership. The statistical tool used to enable this comparison was computing the Z-score for the two populations.
Z-scores were essential to analyzing the social dynamics of these populations. Shifts in data, due to premieres and finales, in both shows were now compared on a uniform platform without the sample bias distorting outcomes. By disregarding the sample bias, Z-scores allowed Argus to compare analysis, unlike before. A standard score, or a Z-score, specifies how many standard deviations data or an observation are below or above the mean. A positive Z-score denotes a value above the mean while a negative Z-score indicates a value below the mean. This dimension-less measurement allowed Argus to further compare episodes of The Walking Dead and The Vampire Diaries based on social media buzz. After calculating the mean and standard deviation of buzz for both series, every episode was assigned a Z-score ranging from -1 to upwards of 8, meaning the buzz for that day was, at its peak, 8 times the standard deviation above the average. This allowed Argus insights to compare the relative viewership based on the disparate samples in a meaningful way. Figure 1 is a graphical representation of the scores.
Figure 1. Daily z-scores ranged from -1 to 8, with season premieres producing the highest scores. Z-scores quickly declined during the winter break and weeks after each season finale, when new episodes were not airing.
Season premieres saw the highest Z-score of any episodes. The Vampire Diaries premiere had a Z-score of 7.03 while The Walking Dead premiere had a score of 8.05, meaning that the Walking Dead premiere was more popular than the Vampire Diaries broadcasting. The mid-season and finale broadcastings also attracted higher levels of viewers given the particular theatrics associated with the episode. Interestingly enough, The Vampire Diaries finale was more popular than The Walking Dead finale, a curious fact given that Walking Dead was more popular per broadcasting for all episodes. Once the finale aired there was less viewer buzz due to the lack of new, weekly content. However, Walking Dead buzz decreased as a slower rate after its finale than Vampire Diaries, which decreased at a significantly higher rate. This could be attributed to various things, for example the level of engagement with post-season content that either series offered viewers once the season had concluded. Nevertheless, whether or not grand finales drive future levels of viewership will be of interest in the coming seasons to Argus.

BSO Announces Replacements for Conductor Chailly
by BMINT STAFF
December 17, 2011 December 17, 2011 by BMINT STAFF
The players of the Boston Symphony Orchestra will be performing without a conductor for the first half of the subscription series concerts running between January 19 and January 24. This is a first, we believe. Due to the cancellation of the indisposed Riccardo Chailly and necessary program changes, sections of the orchestra will be showcasing their abilities to perform as chamber musicians sans leader.
Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man and "Procession du Vendredi-saint" ("Good Friday Procession") from French composer Henri Tomasi's Fanfares liturgiques will be essayed by the brass and percussion players, then Richard Strauss's Serenade in E-flat, op. 7, will be played by the winds; and the first half will conclude with Tchaikovsky's Serenade in C for Strings, op. 48.
The second half of the concert will present the originally scheduled The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky under the direction of Giancarlo Guerrero. He made his BSO debut at Tanglewood on August 22, 2010 and debuts in the BSO subscription series with these performances. Guerrero is now in his third season as music director of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. In autumn 2011, he also began his role as principal guest conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra Miami Residency. A full biography of the young conductor is here.
In the second set of subscription concerts that Chailly was to have conducted, Bramwell Tovey will lead the orchestra. The January 26-31 program will go on as planned, with one work, Mendelssohn's Lobgesang (Hymn of Praise), for soloists, chorus, and orchestra, featuring sopranos Carolyn Sampson and Camilla Tilling, tenor Mark Padmore, and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus.
Bramwell Tovey made his BSO debut in Tanglewood last summer in a concert performance of George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. He also makes his BSO subscription series debut with these performances. His tenures as music director with the Vancouver Symphony, Luxembourg Philharmonic and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestras have been praised for his expertise in operatic, choral, British and contemporary repertoire. His complete bio is here.

Was neither of the assistant conductors available to conduct January 19-24? Shouldn't at least one of them have had the dates clear on his calendar? Wouldn't it be quite a slap in the face for management to consider them incompetent to fill in?
But, failing that, couldn't Maestro Guerrero have conducted the originally programmed first half?
Strange, strange.
That said, it should be interesting to hear the second Copland piece and the Tomasi. Too bad they had to parade out the warhorses to begin and end the leaderless portion.
Getting Tovey for the Mendelssohn seems like a good move.
Comment by Joe Whipple — December 17, 2011 at 1:05 pm
Oops! I misread the article. I see that there is only one Copland piece: the warhorse. So what I'm looking forward to is the Tomasi, and to a lesser degree, the Strauss.
Typical BSO ..hopeless management on every possible level…musical and just plain common sense.
The "new" website is a non-user friendly disgrace and half the time it's off-line. Giving up a busy check room
for an extra coffee bar with absolutely no room for patrons to even put a cup down..there is a real coffee bar with
plenty of seating 50 feet away! A total lack of any business acumen is evident.
Perhaps the BSO officials were chosen by WGBH!
Yes, Joe… Maestro Guerrero should have conducted the originally programmed first half?
Or.. why wasn't Guerrero given the opportunity to choose his own program?
We will never know the real reasons.
Comment by Ed Burke — December 18, 2011 at 2:18 am
Actually, Ed the "extra" coffee bar is the two old ones that were in the corners of the "Hatch Room" on the Huntington Avenue side, one of which had espresso and cappuccino. I haven't noticed the other one you speak of: I'll have to explore a bit more. I'll keep patronizing the one in the former coat room, out of customer loyalty. But not only is the new location a real inconvenience for patrons, it also no doubt cuts into the income of the three people who now have one location for customers, instead of two, and even more into the income of the coat room attendant — although, again, customer loyalty and convenience will keep me patronizing Dorothy Latham on the first balcony level.
Basically, though, I agree with you: moving those coffee bars out of the Hatch Room and into the coat room is a stupid move which disserves the patrons and the vendors. Apparently, management wants to sell as much booze as they possibly can; I guess there's more money to be made from booze.
And you're right about the new website: a complete disaster. It is friendly for only one thing — purchasing tickets and "amenities"; but if you just want information, prepare to jump through hoops.
Comment by Joe Whipple — December 18, 2011 at 10:38 am
Thinking about the fact that the BSO seems to have become much more blatantly money-grubbing over the past four or five years, I'm wondering why. I checked the most recent program booklet, and by my count the orchestra page lists 107 positions, including instrumentalists, conductors, and a few others. Of those 107 positions, 74 are listed as endowed, and 56 of the endowed are endowed in perpetuity (including the music directorship). So it does not seem that musicians' salaries have suddenly started to break the bank. I wonder, therefore if the problem which seems to afflict many "public charities" (i.e., 501(c)(3)'s) and non-profits has hit the BSO — namely, upper management treating it as a cash cow, paying themselves exorbitant salaries, with directors or trustees either complaisant or inattentive. Or is it that they are spending tons more on "outreach" than they ever used to?
But then,
Life would be "extremely flat
With nothing whatever to grumble at."
Comment by Joe Whipple — December 18, 2011 at 12:47 pm
I got an e-mail suggesting that I take a look at the BSO's 990's. At a glance, it appears that Mark Volpe gets something on the order of $600,000, which doesn't seem exorbitant, considering that a number of musicians are being paid over $200,000, and neither his nor musicians' salaries seem to have increased unreasonably over the past couple of filings. Education, including both Tanglewood educational programs and community education efforts increased from about $4,400,000 in the fiscal year ending in 2008 to about $5,000,000 in FY 2010. Between the two fiscal years total revenue was steady at about $63,000,000, but in FY 2008 ticket sales and other "program service"revenue was about $2,000,000 more than in FY 2010. The difference was made up by increased contributions in 2010.
In short, at a glance there doesn't seem to be excessive compensation, nor has there been a remarkable increase in income or expenses. So if my perception is correct — that they seem much more focused on "money-grubbing" than several years ago — it's probably just because there isn't much of a margin, and they need everything they can get to keep the operation going. In FY 2008 there was a profit of about "$2,400,000, in FY 2009 $14,000,000 (which was more than accounted for by a spike of nearly $25,000,000 in contributions — without that spike, there would have been a loss of over $10,000,000), and in FY 2010 — with contributions back to "normal" — the loss was about $10,400,000. Even if Mark Volpe were working for nothing, they'd have run at a big loss last year.
Interesting numbers. I do not know how they relate to anything and how to interpret them. I am sure there is a lot of more than just those numbers. However, I do know that some "excitement" around BSO did subdue over the last 3-4 years. It is not that BSO not able to deliver memorable concerts but rather that there is no stimulating central idea behind BSO programming, BSO play and BSO Sound. It is like routine surviving: musicians draw salary and render notes, concert goers buy ticket, WCRB invent each time a new way to screw up Sound, BMI's writer invent each week new combination of now and adjective to write their "reviews" and … I am sitting sometimes at those uncomfortable chairs in Symphony Hole and thinking if I need to stay for the second act of the concert or it would be better to go across the street and eat a large Boston Market meal.
It is not about bitching regarding the BSO music director or quality of BSO play but rather losing BSO and focused creative force. I am sure that it is not only my feeling and I am sure that it does have a feedback in box office. We are good 3-7 years or more from a new musical director and no one said that a new musical director will do anything improved in the right direction. So, does BSO has any administrative forces with itself that can light up the fire of excitement with itself and open a Pandora Box of true creative power-house that BSO use to be?
Well, Moses led his people 40 years across the desert unit the last remembering slavery was consumed. Well, in 40 years whoever read/write this depressing post will be dead. Do we have time or intentions to wait? BSO today reminds me the old song by Leonard Cohen "Waiting For The Miracle"…

Jeezis, if this attitude prevailed in June 1886 and November 1943, Arturo Toscanini and Leonard Bernstein would never have had their sensational, sudden debuts.

DD, are you suggesting that Maestro Guerrero needs the big break more than Newhouse or Lehninger? Actually, it won't be a sudden debut for him, nor would it have been for either of them, but I think he's a bit farther along in his career than they are in theirs.

All I'm saying is that if you have an assistant or associate conductor, let him/her conduct, an entire program. He might have done well with that original program, and I might have traveled out from the Albany/Schenectady area.

The Hidden Stories Behind Global Internet Attacks
Posted: 07/23/2019 - 04:34
Author: Azeem Aleem
In today's world, organisations are facing all manners of security threats– from ransomware and phishing to attacks on supply chains or compromise by insiders with malicious intent. But not everything is as straightforward as it seems. For example, while many believe threats typically emanate from Russia or the Far East, in fact the United States is a far more likely source than either of these. This goes against a common perception and suggests that while on the face of it, many businesses think they know the full details about the cyber threats they face, their assumptions can often be wrong.
This ignorance or lack of education can ultimately prove dangerous to an organisation and underestimating the scale of threats or where they may come from will leave doors open that cyber criminals can breach.  Some of the most prevalent activity during the past year related to web-application attack activities in fact in the NTT Security 2019 Global Threat Intelligence Report, application-specific and web-application attacks accounted for over 32 percent of all hostile traffic, making them the top category of hostile activity. The application can range from being as simple as a message board or a guest sign-in book on a website or as complex as a word processing tool or a spreadsheet.
In order to lift the lid on some of the issues that are most misunderstood, let's take a closer look at the threats, the motives and malicious actors behind them, as well as touching on the impact they can have upon business, and finally what these businesses can do to help to defend themselves
Web-Based Attacks Explained
Heavily used by threat actors, web-based attacks are those that target web-application and application-specific vulnerabilities. Successful exploitation can often lead attackers to access enormous amounts of back-end data such as supporting databases and systems. It is these types of attacks that target an organisation's internet-facing applications and are commonly associated with large, widely publicised data breaches.
Successful exploitation and subsequent access or manipulation of data could prove catastrophic to an organisation's finances or reputation, even if based solely on the sheer amount of data which could potentially be accessed. While attackers tend to exploit older vulnerabilities, the threat of unpatched newer vulnerabilities, especially in highly used technologies, or those which are often misconfigured (like content management systems), cannot be ignored. Such attacks are regularly integrated into automated tools, so it is not uncommon for the sheer volume of these attacks to be quite high.
Active Actors and Groups
A large variety of threat actors take advantage of web-application and application specific
attacks. Advanced attackers and nation-state actors develop and weaponise exploits for new vulnerabilities, including vulnerabilities discovered by those same actors. Those exploits that are reliable, mature and high quality in nature are then implemented into exploit toolkits which are sold to any hostile actor so inclined to purchase the tools. Once included in a toolkit, these attacks can be performed with little or no skill. Consequently, attacks which previously may have just impacted a single target, sector or geographic area can spread rapidly spread around the globe.
During the course of our own research we observed threat actors ranging from state-sponsored to cybercriminals who were leveraging various application vulnerabilities against multiple sectors. It's worth noting that sophisticated actors can quickly exploit new vulnerabilities further emphasising the need to patch critical vulnerabilities as quickly as possible.
The Motives Behind Attacks
The goal of web-application and application-specific attacks is driven by the motivation of each actor and these typically fall into three categories:
Access are those attackers wishing to further infiltrate the targeted organisation or to conduct additional attacks against other victims.
Influence refers to attackers using system access to interfere with the target's operations, typically for hacktivism or extortion.
Profit is typically the primary motive behind web-application and application-specific attacks. Most often, actors attempt to steal sensitive information, such as trade secrets, personal data or financial data.
Application-specific and web-application attacks most often rely on leveraging an unpatched vulnerability or misconfigured system in the targeted environment. The true effectiveness of these
attacks stem from two facts:
New exploits can be very effective if they are developed before patches or signatures are released. While patches for many new vulnerabilities are released reasonably quickly, some are not, and weaponised exploits for vulnerabilities can be very effective.
These attacks are regularly automated and conducted using a wide variety of tools, which enables a broader number of attackers to use them. Tools can be used to scan for vulnerable applications, verify the existence of the vulnerability, and attempt to exploit the vulnerability, all with minimal interaction by the attacker.
Often these attacks form one component of a multi-vector attack which can include social
engineering, phishing, stolen credentials and other techniques that combine to work with web-based attacks. While these non-technical attacks are not actually a part of the web application or application-specific attacks, their use can increase the effectiveness of the more technical attacks.
The Risk to Business
Vulnerabilities of the most widely used technologies in organisations are typically the main targets of web-application and application-specific attacks. And, the reality is that any organisation with a web presence is exposed to these attacks, so the larger the web presence, the larger the attack surface. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities can lead to system compromise, providing the attacker remote access to the application, data and the underlying system.
Successful attacks have resulted in significant data breaches. Depending on the breach and the aims of the attacker these attacks can either be easily detected or quite stealthy. Some breaches may last for an extended period, for example, if the attacker is attempting to maintain long-term persistence for data theft. Others may be easily detected in the cases of ransomware and political website defacement campaigns. The 2017 WannaCry ransomware attack provides one of the clearest examples of what can happen when patches aren't applied. Even though a patch for the vulnerability exploited by the ransomware had existed for several months many organisations -- notably, parts of the UK's National Health Service -- had failed to use it and it resulted in 200,000 affected computers in at least 100 countries. The attack itself was reported to have cost the NHS itself the princely sum of £20m while the subsequent clean-up operation including upgrades to its system amounted to £72m.
Strengthening Your Defence
So, while no organisation's security infrastructure can ever be guaranteed to be 100-percent secure, there are a number of steps that can be taken to ensure that you are in a position of strength when it comes to web-based attacks.
Prioritise patching and ensure operating system and application patching processes are comprehensive and reliable. The focus should be based on an organisation's exposure, most critical systems, and highest risk vulnerabilities.
Segment the network environment. Segmentation can restrict unauthorised movement across an organisation's environment. If attackers can breach back-end servers, they may be able to access other portions of the network, doing further damage, and possibly gaining a foothold across multiple systems.
Enforce secure coding. Ensure secure coding techniques are taught and enforced for all internally developed applications. For third-party applications and tools, use reputable vendors and prioritise organisations that have a verifiable secure coding practice.
Implement application gateway firewalls. Use web and application gateway firewalls to help protect key internal and external applications.
Perform regular vulnerability scanning. Organisations should evaluate their environment regularly, track all discovered vulnerabilities, and prioritise and patch them in an aggressive manner. Scan results must be evaluated for trends in the types of vulnerabilities observed and internal processes and controls should be adapted to help reduce future exposure.
There is no denying that web-based attacks are the preferred mode of attack by today's cyber criminals and that these once opportunist attacks are now far more organised in their nature and widespread in impact. They can result in devastating consequences to an organisation's network that go far beyond the initial compromise, which is why organisations must prepare themselves for the inevitable. Forming a robust and effective security strategy will ensure that organisations are best placed to determine the approaches to deal with these sorts of threats.

Ariella Silver is an assistant professor of pediatrics and adolescent medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in New York City. She agreed there's a lot of overlap in the three behaviors.
It's not clear how much that may have played into the findings, Silver said.
Still, she sees screen time as possibly the "biggest factor" here. Silver agreed that it may hinder teenagers' sleep. But another issue comes up when social media "replaces" face-to-face social interaction.
When kids do not go out with friends, they miss out on many experiences — including chances for physical activity, Silver said.
Instead of telling kids to "get off the phone," steer them toward alternatives, like extracurricular activities, community programs or family time. "Their screen time will go down by default," she noted.
Talk to teenagers about the importance of healthy habits. "Ask them, 'How do you feel when you don't get enough sleep?'" Silver suggested. "Ask, 'How do you feel when you don't get outside in the sun and get some exercise?'" It's important, she said, that kids notice how their bodies feel when they do or don't engage in healthy habits.
Set some clear rules around screen time, such as no devices in the two hours before bedtime. "Make sure your kids realize these devices are a privilege, and not a necessity to living," Silver said.
"There are certainly small changes you can make that may have a big impact," he said.


When a boy from the town disappears, detective Bill Grant is convinced Samhain is responsible. But even Grant cannot imagine the horrific extent of the Lord of Death's grand scheme. As what may prove to be the last Halloween approaches, the fate of the world will depend on the survival of a small group of people, pawns in a terrifying game of cosmic proportions.
After twelve years, Corrie Phaeder is returning home to Orangefield--the last place in the world he wants to be. Orangefield is a town of nightmares, a town where the impossible and the horrific happen all too often, where ghosts rise screaming from their graves, and where trick-or-treating goblins have no need for scary costumes.
Something is waiting patiently for Corrie's homecoming. This Halloween, a messenger from a realm of shadows, with the body of a scarecrow and the head of a pumpkin, will usher Corrie into what might prove to be his last nightmare, a battle to the death with the ultimate darkness.
In Orangefield, Halloween is never normal--and this year will be no exception. For Orangefield is now the home of Halloweenland, a bizarre carnival run by the mysterious Mr. Dickens. No one who sees the carnival doubts that it's a very strange place, but its real secrets can hardly be imagined.
Orangefield is also the home of Detective Bill Grant, who thinks he's seen it all. He's on the trail of an odd little girl, a girl who could hold the end of the universe in her hand. The trail will lead Grant to Ireland, the ancient home of the Lord of the Dead, then back to Orangefield, where, on what may be the last Halloween, the ultimate battle between Life and Death will take place.

Penthouse Magazine
Trial by Fire
After starting my own law practice in 1983, the first lawyer who hired me to help him with some of his client files was Raymond (Ray) Rose, a well-known Peoria injury and malpractice trial attorney. In addition to paying me to work on his files, Ray taught me the fundamentals of how to handle clients, question witnesses, conduct depositions, and prepare cases for trial.
Among insurance defense attorneys, Ray was known as the "gentle interrogator." He was never aggressive or belligerent when he questioned a witness. He always behaved like a gentleman and used his friendly and laid-back style of questioning to catch a witness off guard, which allowed him to later maneuver himself into a position where he could discredit the witness.
Shortly after I started doing work for Ray, he gave me a book that he thought I would benefit from reading. The book, Gunning for Justice, was written by Gerry Spence, who at that time was one of the most famous trial lawyers in America. In his book, Spence described, in detail, the facts surrounding five separate landmark cases that he had won for his clients.
If I were to name the handful of books that have had the greatest influence on me, Gunning for Justice would be one of them. Because of its R-rated content and language, it's not a book I would recommend for children or teenagers, but it is a book that should be read by every new trial attorney.
The most significant lesson I learned from Gunning for Justice was that I had an obligation to be a warrior for my clients, without any fear of what other attorneys, judges, reporters, or anyone else might say or think about me or my clients. Spence gave me permission to be myself when I tried a case in front of a jury. He drove home a point that my mom always preached while I was growing up: Regardless of what a person might think or say about me, I have an obligation to boldly tell the truth and speak out for what is right.
I was later able to meet Spence in person at a seminar for trial lawyers. He was a master storyteller and larger-than-life character who had a way of making you want to listen to every word that came out of his mouth.
After Gunning for Justice, Spence wrote several other books, one of which was Trial by Fire, a book that described in minute detail a lawsuit that he had filed against Penthouse magazine and its publisher, Bob Guccione. Penthouse was a monthly men's magazine that was in the "soft pornography" business. It was available for sale at local grocery and bookstores and competed head-to-head with Playboy magazine. Penthouse had a reputation of being more trashy, hard-core, and graphic than Playboy, in both its content and the way it portrayed women.
The lawsuit that Spence wrote about arose out of a story that was published by Penthouse in 1980 about Kim Pring, a young college student who had won the title of Miss Wyoming. The story was completely made up and portrayed Pring as a promiscuous sex goddess who had a special talent for satisfying the sexual desires of men. After the story appeared in the magazine, it circulated around the college campus where Pring was attending school. She had to eventually drop out because of the crude and relentless harassment she received from the male students at the college.
In Trial by Fire, Spence outlined in lurid detail how Bob Guccione had built an empire by exploiting women and appealing to the carnal desires of the young men who read his magazine.
When a lawsuit is filed, lawyers in the case have the right to (1) request and subpoena documents and records that are relevant to the case, (2) request information and records concerning individuals who may have knowledge of the facts of the case, and (3) schedule depositions of individuals during which the lawyers are allowed to question them, under oath, in the presence of a court reporter. The gathering of documents and the questioning of individuals is referred to as the "discovery" phase of a case.
During the discovery phase of the Pring case, Spence learned that Guccione had an army of creative writers who competed with each other by submitting stories for publication in the magazine. Guccione and members of his team reviewed and selected the best stories for publication. The writers of the stories that were selected for publication were paid very well for their stories.
The most popular section of Penthouse was the letters to the editor section, which was called the "Penthouse Forum." What Spence learned during the discovery phase of the case was that while the readers of the magazine were led to believe that the forum letters were from other readers, none of the letters actually came from any of the readers. Every letter that was published in the forum was written by one of Guccione's creative writers.
Every month, the letters described different situations in which a boy or a man would come into contact with an unknown attractive girl or woman and engage in a fantasy-type sexual encounter. The different situations always ended up with the couple engaging in wild sex. Each encounter was as varied as the imagination: a male college student connecting with an unknown girl in the stairwell of a dorm, a male jogger connecting with an unknown female in the park, a teenage boy carrying groceries to a car for an unknown young woman and engaging in sex with her in the back seat of the car, a man sitting next to an unknown woman in an airplane and ending up in the restroom with her.
If you're a woman, you may find this hard to believe, but the readers of Penthouse believed that every encounter they read about in the "Penthouse Forum" was true. Over time, they grew to believe that the women they encountered were as open to them as the women they read about in the magazine. Their view of women became perverted and they started viewing all women as sexual objects who would be eager to succumb to their desires.
I thought about Trial by Fire and Gerry Spence last week when I saw a news report on the Internet about a man who had fondled a woman who was sitting next to him on a plane. He did not know the woman and assaulted her after she fell asleep. The man was detained by air marshals and was arrested when the plane landed.
There was another news story last month that reported that a man on a plane did the exact same thing to a woman who was sitting next to him. When he was arrested, he protested that what he had done wasn't that big of a deal.
If I were a betting man, I would wager that both of the men who were arrested are avid readers of the type of "letters to the editor" that were once featured in the "Penthouse Forum."
The one thing I am most paranoid about when my daughters go out on a date with a new guy is the perverted beliefs the guy may have developed by immersing himself in pornographic material. It's not just the pictures and videos I'm concerned about. It's also the creatively deceptive storytelling that leads them to believe that certain behaviors are acceptable and normal.
The availability of pornographic images, videos, and content has increased exponentially since the invention of the computer, Internet, and iPhone. It used to be that boys and men had to go to a store to buy a magazine to access unseemly images and content. Now all they have to do is pick up their iPhone or iPad and they have instant access to all the pornography they want, any time of the day or night.
If you have sisters, daughters, or granddaughters who are dating, you should do your best to convince them to pray a daily rosary and to always wear a brown scapular. The only way they can be assured that they will receive the highest level of protection — from the boys and men who have been poisoned by pornography — is by calling on the mother of God to assist them.

North and South Korea Report Closed Websites on War Anniversary
Lucienne Molnar June 25, 2013 8:43 pm January 1, 2017 0 858
Fox News reports that major websites in North and South Korea have been shut down during the 63rd war anniversary which was celebrated on June 25. Although authorities are still investigating the cause that has led to the crash of the government and media websites, Seoul claims the sites were hacked. North Korea hasn't provided any explanation, yet in relation to the alleged cyber-attacks.
The North and South Koreas were getting ready to celebrate the 63rd anniversary of the Korean War when several important websites collapsed making it impossible for Internet users to access their favorite pages. The sites were closed for several hours during which Seoul authorities did everything they could to determine the cause of the problem. In the end, they have told the press that the websites have been the victims of a cyber-attack.
According to Seoul authorities, the websites of the South Korean presidential Blue House and prime minister's office were the first to get attacked by hackers. Various media servers also collapsed during the brief attack, but military and other key infrastructure haven't been compromised in any way.
While the South Korean government has already discovered the cause, North Korea is still investigating the event. According to official reports, the websites that were shut down on Tuesday belong to the national airline, Air Koryo, the Rodong Sinmun newspaper, the North's official Uriminzokkiri site and Naenara, the country's state-run Internet portal. The websites are now operational with the exception of Air Koryo.
South Korea is willing to help their northern neighbors by investigating the shutdown of the North Korean websites. Officials working at the South Korean National Intelligence Service have stated that the North Korean government hasn't made any comments yet.
The cyber-attack has been claimed by hackers belonging to the Anonymous group. The South Korean government, on the other hand, has declared that there is no evidence indicating that Anonymous is behind the Tuesday's cyber-attacks.

From judging debates competitions, organising charity fundraising events, working in our office and helping at events such as the 1000 DAYS campaign, our volunteers really have a huge impact on our charity work.


Calzone pizza filled with cheese, cherry tomatoes and ham.
Put the flour, yeast and salt into a bowl and mix together, then make a well in the centre.
Stir the sugar into the warm water then pour into the well in the dry ingredients.
Working from the edge mix all the dry ingredients into the water. When the mix has come together turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes. The dough should be soft and spring back to the touch.
Flour the dough and cover with cling film, then leave to rest for about 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 3 or 4 pieces, depending on how many calzones you want to make.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan, gas mark 6). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 5 mm thick. Place on a baking tray And leave to rest for 15-30 minutes, repeat this with the other pieces of dough.
Next spread tomato pasta sauce all over the centre of the dough then pile on the ham, tomatoes and grated cheese. Lightly brush the edge of the dough with milk or water then fold the dough in half, pinching the edges to make sure the calzone is sealed.
Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until the filling is hot and the cheese has melted.

These are not a terrible idea for in between professional cleanings, but they just you should never compare otherwise. A couple of technological measurements: a rental steam cleaning equipment has a PSI of among 15 - 60. That's the pressure the water is filmed into the carpet at. In our truckmount, we place the pressure between 450 and 400 PSI. The vacuum ability is tested in inches of drinking water lift, and the flow is certainly cubic feet per minute. On a rental machine, these are between twenty and 35 inches and the airflow is unimpressive. Each of our truckmount has about 200 inches of water lift and 250 CFM of airflow. A truckmount possesses about 4 or 5 times the cleaning ability of a rental. Also, with most rentals machines, you use the hot water out of your faucet which might be one hundred sixty to 180 F, hence by the time it hits the carpet it's down to 120 or 130 degrees or less. Our truckmount heats the water to 205 diplomas, and by the time it visits the carpet it's only down to about 180 to 200 degrees depending on the period. Keep in mind that the cleaning capacity of the water doubles for every 10 degrees hotter this particular is. So although accommodations machine can be helpful, it does not change a regular professional cleaning. It would be like trying to clean the own teeth with an ultrasonic cleaner and dental pick. If I tried that I'd probably end up with injured teeth and holes during my cheeks.

Punters clean up on Socceroos, as our EPL Aussies Face Off
by Ross Payne on Sep 09, 2011
Getting smaller to grow a bigger league
Falling in love with football all over again
So Near Yet So Far
Time to scratch that itch as we get back into the domestic scene following a successful stint for punters where they cleaned up Betstar as the Socceroos started their journey to Brazil 2014 with a perfect two from two… despite that well-documented shaky effort against Thailand coming very close to the $8.50 draw and even the $31 Thai win. There was no doubt some nervy punters during the match.
In the old dart our only two Socceroos in the EPL face off this week at Goodison. Everton's Tim Cahill faces young Aussie Chris Herd who starred last start for Aston Villa — the Toffees ($2) are searching for their first home win as Villa ($3.20 – Draw $3.30) hope to continue their nice start to the season.
Liverpool ($2.22) face a tough test as they head to the Brittania to face Tony Pulis' tall timber – with Crouch and Jones up front – can the Reds' defence handle them? Stoke $3.35, Draw $3.25.
A quick glance around the world to see where our boys are in action this week, Josh Kennedy's J-League outfit Nagoya Grampus ($2.48) head to Kashiwa Reysol ($2.64 – Draw 3.30), Matt McKay will be hoping for action in the Scottish Premier League for Glasgow giants Rangers ($1.45) against Dundee ($6.50) and Matthew Leckie will chase his third appearance for Borussia Mönchengladbach ($1.91) where they host Kaiserlautern ($3.80 – Draw $3.45)
